We now seem ripe to establish a committee in Palermo against the realization of Muos and,
more generally, for the demilitarization of Sicily. ---- The Muos the mega radar that the
U.S. military is building a Niscemi (Caltanissetta) to integrate the missile shield built
to defend the countries of the Western bloc, and functional to increase further the wars
of the twenty-first century. ---- The effects of Muos will be those serious to put the
"aircraft carrier" Sicily as a base (and lens) of a possible nuclear conflict and increase
electromagnetic pollution within tens of kilometers, with an inevitable result of birth
defects and childhood cancers for the inhabitants of the south-eastern Sicily.
Furthermore, the creation of Muos destroy the local economy (agriculture, livestock,
tourism, etc..) And drastically limit the mobility of Sicilian affecting the activity of
airports in (Comiso, Fontanarossa, Punta Raisi, Trapani-Birgi) already widely damaged by
military servitude.

Starting from self base in neighboring areas (Niscemi in the first place) the fight
against this monster, Muos, going on for five years. Already this spring were born in
Sicily dozens of committees Basic No-Muos that have begun to network and build counter and
mobilization.

We believe that we should work to increase exponentially both committees NO Muos that
participation to the same and so we chose to contribute to forming a territorial committee
open to all those who have in mind that the fight against Muos is closely linked to the
struggles against capitalism and imperialism, enhancing and increasing practices rooted
social and territorial aware that the direct participation of every person in
decision-making to their territory is a prerequisite for food movements against military
installations and the environmental devastation encouraging the participation as possible
widespread and putting in place the direct action to counter the neo-liberal lobby and
warmongering.

We are strongly confident that the fight against Muos should be supported and enhanced
with all possible means, and we appeal to all subjects and many actually living, aggregate
social conflict, struggle and grow in Palermo and Sicily since become active, regardless
of the policy areas and geographical ones: we need the contribution and intelligence of all.

We believe that the struggle against the ravages and militarizzazioni territorial,
environmental protection and health of citizens, can make take the final step to start
tomorrow, to fight against the crisis, against the Europe of the banks and employers ,
against the logic of the debt, and immediately to counter possible Mafia infiltration that
have devastated the territory Niscemese involved in the feud between ten and Stidda Cosa
Nostra.

For all these reasons, we find strongly in internationalism, nell'antimilitarismo,
nell'antifascismo nell'antimafia and social values ââof the fundamental and essential
newborn committee.
